About
The crashing waters of Niagara Falls—comprising two American falls and one Canadian—are truly a sight to behold. Get up close on a boat ride (be prepared to get soaked!), enjoy amazing aerial views from the Skylon Tower or on a helicopter tour, stroll along the White Water Walk, or hit the Journey Behind the Falls attraction that offers views of the falls from below and behind. Adventure seekers can also go zip-lining, jet-boating, hiking and cycling with the falls as the backdrop.
For a truly magical experience, stay after dark when the falls are illuminated. For peak water flow, visit between June and August.

Wow to go right up close the the falls was amazing. Poncho was provided, you need it. It gets very wet and it was awesome to just hang at the base of the falls.

We stayed on the Canada side to enjoy the great views. I even enjoyed the roaring of the water. You can enjoy the falls without a guide, but signing up with a local guide will give you better insight.
We were amazed at how clean everything was. No litter bugs!

Spent second day of our trip visiting Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Definitely want to buy one of the combination passes that includes WeGo busses, incline railway, Journey Behind the Falls, The Fury, the Power Station, the Tunnel, White water Walk, Aero Car. All great but could have passed on the Fury. Bus transportation and Incline were huge pluses particularly with our hotel (Embassy Suites) at the very end. Went with the middle pass but you can go one higher which includes more but for the money, the middle one was perfect for us. Walked from Rainbow Bridge to our hotel and back on leaving, even with suitcase. Lots of chain restaurants but hard to find local cuisine. Did have pizza at Zippys one night.

It was a wonderful way to see and experience the Niagara Falls! The Maid of the Mist Boat Tour was AMAZING! The trip up to the Skyline Tower was breathtaking!
Our tour guide Dayna, was a lovely and super funny person to be with! She answered very well to all our questions! Just unforgettable!

There aren't enough words to describe this impressive experience, except maybe, EXCEPTIONAL (but it's a euphemism).
We advise you to go, it's worth it !
The Niagara Falls are located in Ontario, Canada.
It was sunny and the air didn't be oppressive, because we only was in July. The weather is less hot than in august.
There is many shops and hotels. They was clean but they are expensive and not handicapped accessible.
Around the Falls, there is many activities like the MarineLand aquarium. We visited it, so we saw : seals, sea lions, dolphins, penguins, orcas, sharks and PISCES CLOWN. The animals are so cute. The entrance was as expensive as in restaurant.
Then, we went in a restaurant. The food was very appetizing and delicious.
The staff is warm and kind. The tourist are friendly and nice.
After, we went to the attraction park. It was very coloured and funny. Thanks to the big wheel, we had a wonderful view of the falls.
Finally, we did a cruise. It was incredible because it had a rainbow above falls ; so it was beautiful. The calm is more pacify than in my city.
We loved this place ! It's such a magic location !

Two huge waterfalls that are best seen from the banks. We went on the boat trip and you really can’t see the falls properly due to the spray, but you do get very wet even though you are supplied with a plastic shawl, which only comes to your knees. From the banks the falls are fabulous

I've been coming here for years. Sadly, most hotels nickel and dime for extras like parking, resort fees for hotels/ motels that certainly have zero resort amenities. Throw on the ridiculous tourist destination tax/ fees, plan on adding 30 percent to your advertised hotel prices. It's pure greed, nothing more. Until people stop coming, the ridiculous fees will only increase.

We recently visited Toronto and no visit would have been complete without seeing Niagara Falls. We looked at going independently but were recommended to use Get Your Guide by a friend so did this. From start to finish the process was easy. We only booked the night before but the communication was excellent. Our guide was called Kaleb and he was excellent. He shared his knowledge of the area and kept us all entertained. As we were visiting out of season we avoided the crowds so 4 hours at the falls was just perfect, the sun even made an appearance. Take a packed lunch as food outlets are limited and quite expensive. Definitely do the Hornblower experience though you really experience the power of the falls from up close. Excellent value for money.

Para cruzar a Rainbow Bridge, entre as duas cidades de Niagara Falls (Canadá EUA), partindo do Canadá, posso ir de táxi? pois tenho que levar malas para apanhar o bus junto á Old Main Street, zona de ônibus fretados atrás do centro de visitantes.

Hallo, wie lange würdet ihr dort als Aufenthaltsdauer vorschlagen (ohne bootstour)? Was würdet ihr vor Ort empfehlen? Kann man dort essen?

Two days would give you plenty of time to enjoy the falls. There are many tourist attractions within walking distance from the falls. Also, multiple eating places. Within 20 minutes drive from the falls is the wine region - Niagara on the Lake, where there are many wineries offering tastings - right on Lake Ontario.

How would I get to St. Catharines from Niagara Falls and then back on public transportation?
I am planning a trip to Niagara Falls for the summer. I would be coming from the US side, so would be able to walk across the Rainbow Bridge to get into Canada. I saw that the #40 and #50 buses go between Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, but-
1. Can I pay with cash (I'm sure I can find somewhere to convert USD to CAD) or do I need a specific card?
2. How do I get from the bridge and from the Falls themselves to the Niagara Falls bus station without a car? On Google, it looked like it was a 15 minute drive away.
3. Similarly, where I want to go in St. Catharines is not right next to the bus station there; would my regular Uber or Lyft app that I use when I'm in the US still work when I'm in Canada?

There are several wineries in the area. Your group may enjoy wine tasting at one or several wineries.

That's not alot of time. Minimum two hours return by cab or Uber. If traffic is bad, your screwed.
Go to cn tower instead.
